STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - If you think the city Department of Finance got it wrong when they assessed the value of your home, there's still time to ask questions.

The Finance Department and the Tax Commission will hold joint sessions to answer questions from homeowners about how their properties were valued on Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon, and Feb. 20 from 6 to 8:30 p.m., both at 350 St. Marks Pl., St. George.

And if you still don't agree with the assessment, you can file an appeal.

Those in Tax Class 2, 3 and 4 properties need to file their appeals by March 1.

Here's a breakdown of each class: Tax Class 2 includes co-ops, condos and rentals; Tax Class 3 includes properties owned by a utility, and Tax Class 4 includes commercial properties.

Notice of Property Values, which were mailed last month, reflect the value of the property as of Jan. 5, and are used to calculate how much tax will be owed for the next tax year, which begins July 1.

The notices should reflect damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. Appeals can be filed with the Tax Commission by visiting www.nyc.gov/html/taxcomm.

The agency has the authority to reduce the property's assessment, change its tax class or adjust exemptions. Further descriptions of tax classes and the definitions of market and assessed values are available at www.nyc.gov/finance. 
